The Dr saga continures

I am trying to get a Dr lined up for when the baby is born. They see a Dr a lot in those first weeks, and mine, if she has jaundice like the rest of the kiddos did, will see a Dr more often than most. I was hoping for a family Dr instead of a pediatrician. I just like having a Dr that knows Roger and his health background and a Dr that knows us, as parents, when we walk in the door. We had such a good r'ship with our Dr's in PA. I realize that we will not have that here, that type of Dr just doesn't exist BUT I was hoping for a family practice.

So... here we go...

I called the # for a family practice located right down the road from us. That # connected me to someone wanting to schedule an appointment. I said I didn't want an appointment, I just had a few questions. All of a sudden the phone was ringing and I was talking to someone else. I asked her my questions and she told me to call the number that I had just called! So, armed with a Dr's name and a phone number that I already knew, I called again. "Hi, this is ____ would you like to make an appointment?" um, no not really. I want to know if Dr___ sees infants in his practice. " That Dr isn't there anymore. You would have to see Dr___ and she doesn't see younger than 2 months. Would you like to schedule an appt?"

Called another number - this time for a pediatrician.

I was fowarded to the same thing as before. Only this time instead of answering my question, they hung up.

I can't handle all of this drama.

So now I think we'll just drive out there (which I know they frown upon. Everything is supposed to be scheduled through a main office number, which is not located in any actual Dr's office) and ask our questions and go from there. Oh joy.
